I present again Sam Sloan's claim:

"The fact is that Taylor Kingston has never beaten a master."

Sam's claim is quite absolute and unequivocal, and also
unequivocally false. I have challenged Sam to put his money where his
mouth is. I have 10,000 actual, official American dollars that say I
have beaten an actual officially-titled USCF master in an actual,
serious, USCF-rated chess game.
I propose this bet not out of egotism; I readily acknowledge that my
chess-playing achievements are nothing great. But it takes only one
contrary instance to refute "never," and I can always use a few
bucks.
Our Sam expressed his opinion with great vehemence and certainty,
yet since I proposed the bet, he has remained silent on the subject.
If he is so sure, what's the problem? He'd make an easy ten grand. As
I see it, the problems could be any or all of the following:

1. Sam is such an economic failure that he can't muster ten bucks in
the same place at the same time, let alone ten thousand.
2. Sam has perhaps been trying to arrange a loan for the bet, acting
on the "greater fool" theory, but has not been able to find anyone
more foolish than himself.
3. Sam is not sane, and cannot distinguish between factual truth and
his own dream-world.
4. Sam is an inveterate liar and smear-monger who will say anything,
but he slinks away in silence when his lies are exposed.
